Buggy advice???

[famous182]

Hi guys
Heres the deal I've been reading alot about the jammin buggy adam drake is testing out .Its simular to the mugen x5 lay out.
It seemss cool but I've always wanted a kanai. My question is should I wait for the jammin buggy to come out and the kanai 3 evo or just step up on a k2. I don't mind spending more up front for a tough buggy I just want the best durable and the best price.
Also whats probably the best motor for these buggys I've been reading about the os vzb,nova p5,rb ws2,how about the sirio kanai?
I know its a toss up but would like advice
Thanks
Jon

I agree it is a hard time to chose. I have been hearing more of the same like you. There is a few companies with updates or revamps to their current models. The Evo, GS has a new buggy in the works right now also from what I hear. You got to ask your self can you get parts locally or do you have to order from the web? Speaking from experience, ordering from the web works but really suck compared to the lhs experience. I like the MBX right now. I have seen the Jammin in mags and it looks ok but it's hard to tell through a picture. If you don't mind waiting for parts if the lhs doesn't stock them, and you go with the save more up front to get a better buggy, the MBX 5 in my opinion is the way I would go. Good luck! It is hard as there are a lot of good buggies to chose from.

If it were me, I would go ahead and get the K2 if that's what you want. However, I don't know when the K Evo will be released. I'm bad about waiting though. I know I wouldn't wait for any Ofna buggy. If you don't want to spend as much, check out the MBX5. Mine has held up great so far.
As for engines, any of the ones you have listed would be fine. All of them are among the strongest engines. Sirio's seem to be hit or miss. If you get a good one then it is a monster. I'm getting used to my C5 and it is a beast. The power is abrupt and takes some getting used to. The NR P5 (the Rex version has had some rear bearing issues) rips out of the hole and the WS7II is strong from bottom-mid to top. A buddy of mine is running the VZB and it has excellent bottom end. The Bergonzoni engine is starting to get some attention (it's basically the same engine as the P5) and if you really want a ballistic engine go with a JP mod engine. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple but that is my experiences with the engines you specified.
